Welcome Speech of Mr Pierre François Unger, State Councilor of the Republic and Canton of GenevaDistinguished Guests, Dear colleagues and friends, Ladies, Gentlemen, I am delighted to welcome you to the inauguration of the 9th Global Humanitarian Forum. Over the years, the Global Forum has come to surpass the dimensions of a simple meeting to become an institution comprised of competent, motivated and empathetic professionals at the height of their careers, who volunteer their expertise for the humanitarian cause. As I look at the progress made during the previous Forums, I realize the numerous challenges we can undertake because of the devotion that drives us all. This Global Forum allows us to define our priorities, and better understand the daily realities that are confronted by our patients and the health professionals working in developing countries. It constitutes a platform for exchange of ideas, dialogue, and communication between those who need help and those who can provide it, through visionary projects and realistic solutions to problems encountered. And when one speaks of durable solutions, this clearly entails capacity building and ensuring training abroad and on site. These two critical elements are the basis for motivating professionals within developing countries and for driving us to invest our energy and resources in them. It is this sense of structured and durable contribution upon which we build our humanitarian acts that allows for the realization of projects inspired by our partnerships in these countries of need that in turn motivates us to continue to participate and express our concerns on these vital issues. This Global Forum, that we have all created together, is strengthened by our conviction that it is indeed indispensable, and that it provides an opportunity for our partners in developing countries to communicate and specify their needs so that we can better answer them. It is for them that this Global Forum was initiated, and I am pleased to see that more and more of our colleagues are able to participate each year, despite the financial burden that this entails for them. I would like to emphasize my gratitude to the State of Geneva, the University Hospital, my collaborators and staff members, and the sponsors who make it possible for this Forum to take place every two years in Geneva. I hereby wish you a Global Forum rich in knowledge and lasting friendships. June 27, 2013 Geneva University Hospital Salle “Marcel Jenny” |
